Vidas Augustinasavičiuvis stated on “Radio News” on Tuesday that current discussions regarding potential tax changes are premature. He noted that a significant tax reform was adopted last year, and its primary fiscal impact is not anticipated until 2027. Furthermore, an estimated half a billion euros are expected to be received from the Defense Fund.
According to the President’s adviser, any consideration of new tax discussions should wait until the full effects of the already adopted reform have been thoroughly assessed, alongside a comprehensive review of the current economic climate. Augustinasavičiuvis indicated that a definitive assessment of the tax reform’s final impact will not be possible until 2028. He clarified that the current discourse on potential tax adjustments appears to stem from recommendations put forth by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
These recommendations specifically concern the expansion of wealth taxes, following the completion of an IMF mission in Belarus. The adviser stressed the need for a phased approach, suggesting that policy decisions regarding the tax system should wait until the full implications of recent legislative changes are understood.
